Repairing or Reinstalling Applications

All applications preinstalled or preloaded on your notebook can
be repaired or reinstalled by using the Software Recovery disc.
If you have not reinstalled your operating system, some
applications preloaded on your notebook, such as those available
in the Software Setup utility, can also be repaired or reinstalled
from your hard drive.
The application reinstallation process repairs or replaces
corrupted system files within the application and reinstalls
deleted system files within the application.
In most cases: If the application you are repairing or
reinstalling is still installed on your notebook, the
reinstallation process does not affect your settings within the
application.
In all cases: If an application has been deleted from your
notebook, the reinstallation process reinstalls the application
or utility to the factory image.
